Great idea! These "bathroom passes" can be placed on a student's desk when they use the restroom so you know where they are. When they come back, they have to sanitize their hands in addition to washing their hands in the sink. We all want to believe every student washes their hands in the bathroom, but we know better! This will give the teacher a heads up as to where the student is, and a little piece of mind about their germy hands!

Organization Board

Totally Terrific Teacher Tip: Teacher's organization board - A great place to keep your receipts, to do list, calendar and more. Use this for items only related to your teaching life to make your day-to-day easier.

Low cost student gift idea or prize Bookmarks made from paint sample sheets found in hardware stores. These "bookmarks" are made with a small amount of ribbon, a regular round hole punch, and a fun heart shaped punch. You can also add stickers or a name for a personal touch. I went to a few Home Depots in the area when I got my samples so I didn't deplete their stock! I also purchased a few items so I didn't feel guilty grabbing these. :)

Totally Terrific Teacher Tip: "A place for everything, and everything in its place." Great idea from pinterest on how to organize some of your smaller classroom supplies. I will probably change up the labels, but it's such a great idea when you don't want to spend your time searching for these items in your desk!
